Default Where do you train???

Just curious to see how many train at home or at a gym? and do you think training at home can get the same results as a big gym can?

I train in the gym mainly but have weights, bench and couple of medicine balls at home as well.

The gym motivates me more but its also nice to have the ability to do some at home if I am late in from work and run out time for the gym.

In the gym i dont think training at home can compair at all really you dont have the equipment or the motivation i find. Plus i find if i go with mates and train togther you can lift heavier and you have some one to spot you when you want to push your self and move up a weight

Member of two gyms. Couldn't motivate myself to train at home. Bad enough being alone in a gym tbh.

Can understand training in the gym has its benefits, but i just got sick of waiting around for the friday night bicep boys to finish chatting and hogging the popular machines..and working 6 days a week makes finding time very difficult for me.

No way can you train the same at home unless you have a huge selection on weights.i doubt people have 50kg dumbells in there garage or squat rack with 200kg worth of plates.not saying you wouldn't make progress but nowhere near the same as at the gym I.m.o

Just trying to convince myself that building a gym in my garden will be worth it? and to get my garage back. I have a bit of equipment like dumbells from 2kg to 60kg and approx 400kg of plates, squatting rack/smith machine etc etc....

I go to a gym, its ok but I do it to tone than try and sgift the earth, Dont have a gym set up at home but do pulls ups in the loft hatch, press ups down the stairs, launch a kettlebell around and shift paving stones around,
If I have my lunch in the yard at work I set myself up with a few barrels, pallets and do somekind of workout/circuit,
Its just a case of looking around and using some initiative.

Home Gym... got sick and tired of being let down by mates then getting to gym and having to queue behind assholes talking about some skank they screwed or ten men they destroyed last night without even splling their drink.





Old pics, now have a 200KG olympic set in there and a speed ball on the wall.
